Place the transducer assembly against the motor body of the trolling motor, with the front of the transducer pointed away from the trolling motor propeller. 4. Wrap the two ends of the cable tie around the motor body. Place the pointed end of the cable tie through the fastener hole on the opposite end and pull it through until it is snug but not tight. (The cable tie clicks when you pull it.) 5. Position the transducer so that it is parallel with the bottom when in use, and make sure the gasket is aligned properly. Pull the cable tie end until tight. Trim off the excess if necessary. Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until it touches the mounting bracket, and then tighten 1/4 turn more. (Do not overtighten.) GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual 6. Route the 30-foot (9 m) transducer cable using the supplied cable ties to secure the cable to the motor shaft. You can fill the forward-facing portion (except the cable tie pocket) of the transducer mount with sealant to avoid accumulating debris. NOTE: Leave some slack in the cable to avoid damage while using the trolling motor. Cable tie Front of the transducer 43 Installing the Unit Mounting the Transducer on a Transom USS Barnett Apply marine sealant to all screw threads to prevent water from seeping into the transom. Mount the transducer cable cover well above the waterline. Transducer should extend 1/8" below fiberglass hull or 3/8" below aluminum hull. OK Mount the transducer parallel with the bottom. 44 Make sure that the transducer is below water level when the boat is on plane at high speed. Do not mount the transducer directly in the path of the prop. The transducer can cause cavitation that may degrade the boat’s performance and damage the prop. GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual Installing the Unit When selecting a transom mount location, consider the following for optimal performance: • For your sonar to operate properly, the transducer must be located in calm water. DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, rivet lines, struts, fittings, water intake, discharge ports, eroding paint, or anything that creates turbulence. • Mount the transducer as close to the center of the boat as possible. • DO NOT cut the transducer lead. (This voids your warranty.) • DO NOT mount the transducer in locations where it might be jarred when launching, hauling, trailering, or storing. • DO NOT mount the transducer in the path of the prop on single-drive boats. The transducer can cause cavitation that can degrade the boat’s performance and damage the prop. On twin-drive boats, mount the transducer between the drives, if possible. NOTE: DO NOT mount the transducer behind strakes, struts, fittings, water intake or discharge ports, or anything that creates air bubbles or causes the water to become turbulent. The transducer must be in clean (non-turbulent) water for optimal performance. GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual Tool List (not included)—drill, 3/8" wrench or socket, 5/32" and 1/8" drill bits, masking tape, #2 Phillips screwdriver, and marine sealant. To mount the transducer on a transom: 1. Position the transducer mount at the selected transom location. Make sure the transducer is parallel with the water line. Mark the center locations of each hole on the transducer mount. 2. Using a 5/32" bit, drill the pilot holes approximately 1" (25 mm) deep at the marked locations. To avoid drilling the holes too deep, wrap a piece of tape around the bit at 1" from the point of the bit. 3. Apply marine sealant to the 5 x 30 mm screws. Attach the transducer assembly to the transom using the 5 x 30 mm screws. Adjust the transducer assembly to extend beyond the bottom of the transom approximately 1/8" (3 mm) on fiberglass hulls or 3/8" (10 mm) on aluminum hulls. Adjust the transducer assembly to be aligned parallel with the water. 4. Tighten the 10-32 locking nut until it touches the mounting bracket, and then tighten 1/4 turn more. (Do not overtighten.) 5. Place the first cable clamp on the transducer cable approximately one third of the distance between the transducer and the top of the transom. 45 Installing the Unit 6. Mark the location. Using a 1/8" bit, drill a pilot hole approximately 3/8" (10 mm) deep. 7. Attach the cable clamp using a 4 x 12 mm screw. Coat the screw with marine sealant before installation. Repeat steps 5 and 6 using the other cable clamp. 8. Route the transducer cable, as needed, to the unit. DO NOT CUT THE CABLE. Avoid routing the cable with electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference. Drill pilot holes here. Vertical Bottom of To avoid drilling a hole to mount a thru-hull transducer, a transducer can be secured with epoxy inside a boat (shoot-thruhull installation). This type of installation can provide better noise reduction and allow you to use a higher Gain setting. For a transducer to be mounted inside the hull (shoot-thru, not thruhull), the boat must be fiberglass, with no core. Contact your boat manufacturer if you are unsure. Professional installation might be necessary. Some transducers are specifically designed to be mounted inside a fiberglass hull. The standard plastic transom mount transducer can also be mounted using this method. If using a temperature sensing transducer, the temperature shown reflects the hull temperature. Level Align with the transom bottom. The transducer should extend 1/8" below fiberglass hulls or 3/8" below aluminum hulls. Shoot-Thru-Hull Installation m the transo Note: A solid fiberglass hull can be no more than 5/8" (9.53 mm) thick when using a 500 W transducer, and no more than 1" (25.4 mm) thick when using a 1 kW transducer. Keep it parallel with the water line. OK 46 GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual Installing the Unit Selecting a Location for a Shoot-Thru-Hull Installation When installing a transducer, the installation location must be the following: • Solid fiberglass, without any air bubbles, laminates, fillers, or dead air space. • In an area of clean (non-turbulent) water at all speeds. • The location must not be over any strakes or behind any obstruction on the hull that would create turbulence. NOTE: Many modern hulls have a dedicated pocket for shoot-thru-hull transducer installation. If you are unsure if your hull is equipped with a pre-located pocket, contact your hull manufacturer. To test the location: 1. Fabricate a test device from a section of PVC pipe or a can, as shown in the following illustration. 2. Temporarily seal the test device to the hull with caulking or RTV sealer, and fill with water or light mineral oil. 3. Place the transducer in the water, pointed directly at the bottom and weight it down. Set the unit for optimum performance. If the sonar performance is significantly degraded, another location must be tested. GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual PVC pipe or a can Strip caulk or RTV sealer Weight the transducer to hold it in place. Fill a pipe or can with water or a light mineral oil. Hull surface Testing the Location To permanently install the transducer: 1. Lightly sand the surface of the hull and face of the transducer with 400 grit wet or dry sandpaper. 2. Build a dam using strip caulk about 1/4" (6 mm) tall. Pour about 1/8" (3 mm) of two-part, slow-cure epoxy into the dam. 3. Place the transducer in the epoxy, turning the transducer to work out any air bubbles. 4. Weight the transducer in place, and allow it to cure for 24 hours. 47 Installing the Unit Step 4: ��������� Install the Wiring Harness The unit comes with a wiring harness that connects the unit to power and the transducer with one easy-to-remove connection and provides interface capabilities for connecting external devices. The color code in the diagram (see page 49) indicates the appropriate harness connections. The replacement fuse is a AGC/ 3AG - 3 Amp fuse. If it is necessary to extend the power wires, use 22 AWG wire. DO NOT cut the transducer cable, because this voids your warranty. You can wire the unit directly to the battery. If your boat has an electrical system, you might be able to wire the unit directly to an unused holder on your current fuse block. If you are using the boat’s fuse block, remove the in-line fuse holder supplied with the unit. 3-Amp fuse To 10-35 Volt boat supply 3A 2A Boat ground + Note: During a typical installation, use only the Red and Black wires. The other wires do not have to be connected for normal operation of the unit. For information on connecting to a NMEA or CANet compatible device, see page 50. 1. Use a test light or voltmeter to determine the polarity of the voltage source. 2. Connect the Red (+ or positive) wire to the positive voltage terminal. (If you use the boat’s fuse block, route the positive connection through the fuse, as shown on the diagram.) 3. Connect the Black (- or ground) wire to the negative voltage terminal. 4. Install or check the 3-Amp fuse (on the boat’s fuse block or in the in-line holder). 5. Align the notches on the cable plug and on the back of the unit.

Refer to the wiring diagrams on page 50 for connecting the unit to NMEA compatible devices. To install the wiring harness to a GPS or other NMEA device: 1. Follow the voltage source installation steps (see page 49). For Garmin units, the ground (Black) wires serve as NMEA ground and must be attached together or on the same terminal. Refer to the wiring diagram of your GPS unit for wire identification. 2. Connect the Blue (NMEA Out 1) wire from the unit to the NMEA In wire on the NMEA unit’s wiring harness, and the brown (NMEA In 1) wire to the NMEA Out wire on the NMEA unit’s wiring harness. 3. Repeat step 2 using the Grey and Violet wires for an additional NMEA unit. 4. Set the unit’s serial port(s) to use NMEA In/NMEA Out (page 30). Interfacing with NMEA The unit allows for NMEA 0183, Version 3.01 output with a compatible GPS or navigation device. You must set the unit’s serial port(s) to NMEA In/NMEA Out to send data and receive data (page 30). 50 The SDDBT, SDDPT, SDMTW, SDVHW, SDWPL sentences are sent and received in NMEA 0183, Version 3.01. You can purchase complete information about National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format and sentences from: NMEA Seven Riggs Avenue Severna Park, MD 21146 USA www.nmea.org Installing the Unit to a Garmin CANet The unit is a CANet-compatible Garmin device, and can send or receive sonar information from another CANet-compatable Garmin device. Using the CANet optimizes the performance of CANetcompatible units, allowing sonar information from a Sounder or Fishfinder to be shared with up to two CANet compatible Garmin GPS units. A standard NMEA connection only allows depth, temperature, and speed information to be sent to a single GPS device, whereas a CANet connection provides full sonar readings, including Ultrascroll™, so you can view and control the same information on your compatible Garmin GPS unit(s) as you can on your compatible Garmin Sounder or Fishfinder. Note: To use the Garmin CANet with your unit, you must obtain a CANet Kit. Contact your Garmin dealer, or visit www.garmin.com. GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual Installing the Unit Step 5: Test the Installation To turn on your unit for the first time, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps and turns on. Use the ROCKER and the SELECT keys and follow the screens to configure your unit. Note: Although you can perform some checks with the boat trailered, the boat should be in the water to properly test the installation. To ��������������������� configure your unit ������������������� for the first time: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Select the Language. Select attached NMEA Devices. Select the Transducer type (if applicable). Select the Position Format (the default is hddd°mm.mmm'). Select the Time Format (the default is 12 Hour). Select your Time Zone. Select your preferred Units of measure. Select Minimum Depth. Select the Overhead Clearance of your boat. The Home screen appears (see page 6) after you select your configuration options. Note: You can adjust these options in the future from the Configure screen. Because water is necessary to carry the sounder’s sonar signal, the transducer must be in the water to work properly. You cannot get a depth or distance reading when out of the water. When you place your boat in the water, check for leaks around any screw holes that were added below the water line. DO NOT leave your boat in the water for an extended period of time without checking for leaks. GPSMAP® 400 Series Owner’s Manual51 Installing the Unit To test the transom mount transducer installation: 1. Begin testing the installation at a slow speed. If the sonar appears to be working properly, gradually increase the boat’s speed while observing the sonar’s operation. If the sonar signal suddenly is lost or the bottom return is severely degraded, note the speed at which this occurs. 2. Return the boat to the speed at which the signal was lost. Make moderate turns in both directions, and see if the signal improves. 52 3. If the signal strength improves while turning, adjust the transducer so that it extends another 1/8" below the transom of the boat. It might take several adjustments to eliminate the degradation. 4. If the signal does not improve, you might have to move the transducer to a different location. NOTE: When adjusting the depth of the transducer, make the adjustments in small increments. Placing the transducer too deep can adversely affect the boat’s performance and put the transducer at greater risk of striking underwater objects.
